Well I guess it's all relative and based more on opinion and taste. 2 crackers might be enough for some people, but when I am having soup, I have upwards to 20 crackers in it... not all at once though, that's crazy. I mean, initally, you throw a few crackers in and let it soak for a bit, then eat the cracker as the soup cools. Then maybe at the end do you overload it with crackers so you can get a more solid base to it.

I was never really a Ritz fan. I dunno why, they're just so fucking greasy and they just didn't go well in soup like saltines do. They didn't have the same crumble-factor. But I recall eating a dessert that used ritz in it and it was quite good, which caused me to reevaluate my stance on em.

I think it's too much cheese and not enough cracker. It takes a lot of strategy in finding the cracker to cheese ratio so you don't end up having to eat the extra cheese using your finger, and then having your finger smell like cheese for a while.

I just ate the crackers. I didn't really have a cracker craving and wasn't that hungry, but I put so much thought into it that I just had to know what crackers tasted like. That's a life lesson for you all. There's "Stopping to smell the roses" and there's "Quit thinking about it and start tasting it"... but don't do it without a glass of water or something. Very dry. God, it's taking forever to move down my throat. Why didn't I prepare for this??

I think it's odd that they put 2 crackers in a packet. What are you going to do with just 2 crackers? I guess put some peanutbutter between them for a lil sandwich, but I can't imagine it being very useful, hunger-wise. Wow, looking at all the ingredients on this cracker packet, it's amazing how something you'd think is so simple can be so complex.

Before: After: In between: Jesus Christo that's a beating.

Randy Couture was probably the first fighter I attached myself to when I started getting into MMA again. Watching UFC 13, here's a wrestler who is subbing guys and pounding out these huge fuckers. Then they bring up his boxing in the Army and there's a total package right there. That was awesome and indicative of the kind of athlete that was coming out at that time. It was also around this time that Randy had his war with Pedro Rizzo, and seeing that sorta connected me to the modern-day UFC. The fight itself was just a fucking war, and I remember watching the rematch on PPV and seeing Randy just blow through Rizzo. Though the Rizzo fights get brought up as an example of how Randy is able to overcome and persevere, 2003 was truly his defining year. His fights with Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz were fucking insane. For about a year, maybe even more, all the talk was "Tito and Chuck". That's where the focus was. Then out of nowhere comes Randy Couture and spoils them both and makes them look like amateurs. Looking back, 2003 - when Randy was 40 years old - was his peak in fighting. It's going to be weird seeing a UFC without Randy Couture. An excellent Couture HL video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1...q=randy+couture

On UFC.tv there is an interview with Randy. He says he's going to be "competing with his girlfriend on an adventure show (in the spring)". Please tell me we'll be seeing The Natural on The Amazing Race! He also said that he was planning on retiring win or lose, and decided about a month ago.

Hmm, they didn't have The Wild And Crazy Guy go into a gay bar. Damn, I'm out $20.

Respect. That Vera KO was so pretty. Fucking awesome card. Goddamn.

AGREED! I would have liked to have had something infront of me so I could compose my thoughts a lil better, as there were times where my mind was going in different directions and whatever point I was making sorta came out as a bit of a ramble. So if you were like "the fuck?", that was me with a half-thought trying to fill in the other half. But whatever nervousness you had didn't show up.

Lei, you were probably my favourite part of that roundtable, the Mexican/Eddie Guerrero comment had me laughin.

Malenko vs. Mysterio would be closer, stylistically to Malenko/Guerrero than Benoit/Malenko. I say do Benoit vs. Masato Tanaka

It's easier to escape when your opponent has your head trapped if you don't have hair. Not that that's the exact reason for why these guys in particular are bald, but in general, most MMA fighters don't have a full head of hair because it works against you (plus it gets in your eyes... OUIMET~!)

I was about to say "Who is this Snoreona fella and how come I've never heard of him", and then I sorta connected the dots..

Day-boo~!

That was a lot funnier than I remembered. This, of course, should not be unexpected when LOTC has a live mic infront of him. Poor Downhome. I thought it gelled really well and once it got going it really got going. Though it is apparent that LOTC, Lei Tong, and NGA need their own show called Smark Cultured where they look at daily events through the perspectives of a Mexican, a Canadian, and an Australian. Oh-ho-ho, hilariousity.

I remember watching the fight and the announcers weren't really on Randys jock as they are today.

There's a KOTC Canada event on TSN right now and one dude just superkicked another duge. Sweet Chin Music Superkick. That was fucking awesome. The guy just shrugged it off, but still. It connected.

I think one of the most important things to note is the Randy Couture is at his best when he is the underdog. Against Liddell the first time, against Rizzo the second time when a lot of people believed he lost the first fight, against Belfort the first time. I'm not 100% sure on it, but against Randleman I think he went in as the underdog as well. He has an uncanny ability to rise to the occasion and DOMINATE, and that's a huge x-factor in his favour.

Plus no one really expected anything great out of the HW fight, while lots of people were stoked at the prospect of two top MW's going at it. Then again, these are the schmucks who voted Randy Couture as Fighter of the Year in 2004, so this is not really unexpected.

The Brian Pillman stuff, especially the WCW/ECW stuff will be fantastic. Especially with Heyman and Bischoffs POVs, as well as Austins.

They *need* to get as much footage of Hogan in Japan as possible, specifically his work from the early 80's in New Japan. That shit is fucking great. I wonder if they can use the Supershow Tokyo Dome footage with Hogan vs. Hansen, since it was a joint production?

From LAW... *Look for "Ultimate Fighter 2" finalist Brad Imes to take on Gabriel Gonzaga at the UFC April show in Anaheim. How Gonzaga is being invited back is beyond me after having the worst fight of 2005 with Kevin Jordan in November.
